Overview

There is a lot of hype and uncertainty around cloud security, but this class will slice through the hyperbole and provide students with the practical knowledge they need to understand the real cloud security issues and solutions. The Cloud Security Fundamentals class provides students a comprehensive two day review of cloud security fundamentals and prepares them to take the Cloud Security Alliance Certificate of Cloud Computing Security Knowledge (CCSK) exam (This course is also known as the CCSK- Plus). Starting with a detailed description of cloud computing, the course covers all major domains in the latest Guidance document from the Cloud Security Alliance, and includes a full day of hands-on cloud security training covering both public and private cloud.
